A pictures is worth a thousand words

Winni enjoys her crocheted hat

Well, Todd and I have had a few days off of work. (Saturday through today...Tuesday). I've been proud of what I've gotten accomplished. I've crocheted a bit......mostly granny squares (using up random pieces of yarn) but also a crocheted cat hat.

Christmas Cross stitch

I've finished up a cross stitch project. I started this cross stitch only a month or two ago...and worked on it mainly at work. I was surprised I got it done in time for Christmas....but I'm happy that I did. I'm tired of unfinished projects (and yes...my weight is an unfinished project that I need to rectify!)

We went to my nieces gymnastics meet. She of course takes after her aunt and was dashingly adorable!

Uneven Bars

We were planning on having lunch with family after the gymnastics meet. However, we left the meet and found about 6 inches of snow on the ground. The roads were horrible so Todd and I called my father and gave our regrets. It took us over and hour to make it home (10 miles). We were home for the rest of the day. It snowed and we just curled up inside and relaxed. Here is the last picture that was taken before my age flipped up to the new improved number of 41.

Two snowy days during my time off.......My birthday snow.....and an early morning hot tub dip.

So if you notice there has been very little mention of food in this blog post. There is a reason. I haven't been eating exactly the best.

So you may have noticed that this blog post doesn't mention exercise. There is a reason. I haven't been exercising exactly the best.

Birthdays are a time to reflect. I'm want this birthday to be the last year that I sit on my birthday as an obese person. I'm done. I'm tired. I want it. I'm willing to work for it. I'm willing to shed the blood, sweat and tears to get it.

That cat hat is awesome. Your cat doesn't even look too mad to be wearing it, lol! And I'm super impressed that you finished the cross stitch so quickly...those big pieces, back in the day when I used to attempt them, ended up abandoned more often than not.

About Me

I am pretty laid back. I am newly single and the fallout of that change in my life sometimes seems to overwhelm me. However, I will admit, stretching out with the whole bed to myself is fantastic. I am determined to get my weight back in check once and for-all as I learn to navigate this single thing. My life is wide open before me....the pages are blank. It's up to me to decide how it's going to look!
